Over Christmas, Tom and I took both boys on a two-week adventure to the East Coast to visit family and friends, including stops in Durham, Miami and Palm Beach. Because it was our first time traveling with two – and traveling to two different climates to boot! – we spent a lot of time in preparation. We traveled extensively with Wyatt in his first two years (I previously posted about that experience here) – but travel with two was a whole new ball game! I know travel with kids can be extremely ... View the Post

I recently shared my best practices and lessons learned from traveling with Wyatt the last two years, and traveling with two over Christmas this year (link here). I've found one of the keys to successful travel with kids is having a robust packing list, and ensuring that you've checked every box before heading out the door. We also reference it during the trip when traveling between destinations to ensure we haven’t misplaced anything! Below I've shared our full kid packing list here for your ... View the Post

I heard from many you that my "Week One with Baby Luke" post was a helpful reference, so I wanted to share an update on how things have been going since. I'm including a recap of our routine, my nursing plan, and how Tom, Wyatt and I have been handling the transition to a family of four (with two under two!).We also just got back our family photos from Jill Baker and I'm so excited to share a few of them too! Jill is based locally here in Marin, and I would highly recommend working with her if ... View the Post

The things I put these kids (and their Dad) through for a cute pic... but I'm always so happy to have the memories captured after the chaos is over. This was the most challenging gift guide to compile yet! The universe of baby and toddler goods is vast, and as you know I take a (very) discerning look at any product we purchase. The last thing any parent needs is more clutter, so I've focused this list on high-quality products with some longevity. We live in a small apartment, so I try to limit ... View the Post

Six months was a big transition time for Wyatt - I weaned him off of nursing, introduced formula for the first time, and started to introduce solid (aka pureed) foods. I found the transition to solids to be surprisingly difficult for us at the time - but in retrospect, I was definitely overthinking it (sound familiar?). Here I'll share a recap of everything I learned, and of course, the best products for feeding to help ease the transition. Note: I have a separate blog post here on how we ... View the Post
